While I was in DC, I also got the chance to meet up with Leigh at Popcorn Ideas. I have to admit, having friends in every corner of the county through blogging is just so fun. First, I met Jen. Then Jenny. Then Cindy, Allison, Allison and Suzanne. And, now Leigh.
As soon as I knew I was going to Washington, D.C., I shot Leigh an email and she was game for a meet-up with a crazy blogging stranger.
Sweet.
So, after she got off work, she met me at the Metro station and we headed to Chinatown.
First of all, let’s just say that Leigh had to give little-town Kim the basics about how to ride the Metro. I was her public transportation charity case. 😉 But, it was fun. Chinatown was neat.
We did some walking around, then stopped in to check out the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Portrait Gallery.
Then, we grabbed dinner and a drink and called it a night. It was way past my bedtime (8 p.m.) but Leigh is a night owl and was probably just getting started. 🙂
It was such a great time with a blog friend and I’m thankful it worked out. Wish we lived closer. Maybe I’d start staying up until 9 p.m. Become a rebel without a cause.
Who wants to hang out with Kim next? Any takers? 😉
Next time you are in DC you can visit ME and Leigh! A two for one deal! 🙂
Kim: unrelated to this particular post…I love your monthly goals. So inspiring…I think I might adopt on my blog and in life. 🙂
Anytime you find yourself in California, you just let me know! 😉
Looks like you guys had a great time!
And even though we have already met, we would love to see you here!!
Fun, fun! I’m bumming that we couldn’t meet when you were in town the other month!
Pick me, pick me! We should totally hang out next time your come to the Lou!
Too fun! I love meeting strangers off the internet. Twin cities is the place to be, I bet we could even talk Dusty into coming from Madison 🙂
If you are ever in Baltimore, I’m your girl!
Ah I see
I LOVE having blog friends all over the country, although it makes me super sad that I can’t get every single one of them together and once for a big party. If you’re ever in New England, let me know and we can get together again!
xoxo
Umm..me please? We’re SO on for LeClaire….and I totally want to meet Mike from American Pickers while we’re there. You can hook that up right? 😉 He’s such a cutie…just sayin’. he he he
Aww, fun! I’m just sad I didn’t get to be part of the meet up; I’m just on the other side of DC (Maryland) and was in China town the other day. Even though I’m on a blogging break, I think we still could’ve called it a blogger meet up 🙂
yay! It was so fun!If only we had more time. But you have plenty of reasons to come back.
Oh, and you did a great job on metro- couldn’t even tell- especially when you corrected me.
…um is that really the least scariest of all the photos- yuck. ;P
You should go on tour! If you’re ever in the South, you gotta stop in TN (I’m in Knoxville but will travel). 🙂
You can’t beat Boston!! And since I live in the ‘burbs, you get Witch City too! Trust me, over here is the place to be 🙂
Philly is the place to be, yo!
See the Liberty Bell, have a cheesesteak (I won’t even judge you if you like Pat’s better), and you could hang out with me AND Shannanigans. We are a good time.

How Fun! So glad you two had a great time together!
And if you come to Michigan, Jenny from home in the country and I could BOTH meet you 🙂
sounds fun! I’m jealous of your blog meet ups! Let me know if you ever come near the Kansas City area!
I’ll have to ditto claire – if you’re ever back in ATL maybe we can have a group meetup?!
fun!
if you come back to atl – let me know! 🙂
Um, you know that I writhe with jealousy everytime you meet a blogger that’s not me, right?
I love DC, we’re heading that way in January (I think) for a wedding. Can’t wait to see it in the winter.
I love DC & the metro… super-glad you had help navigating it.
You know that anytime SW MI becomes your vacation destination, we’re gonna hang out. 🙂 Of course.
How about you come back to Virginia but make the trek down 95 to Richmond!
